The dam, completed in 1958, stands at 35 feet tall and spans a length of 5250 feet, with a storage capacity of 4920 acre-feet. Despite being a critical infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area, the dam lacks a spillway and has limited discharge capabilities, raising concerns about its ability to handle extreme weather events.
The dam's primary purpose and design as an earth dam with buttress core types highlight its reliance on natural materials for stability. With a high hazard potential and a risk assessment rating of "High (2)," there is a pressing need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety. The lack of a current condition assessment and emergency action plan raises further concerns about the preparedness of the dam to handle potential emergencies, emphasizing the importance of proactive risk management measures for water resource and climate enthusiasts monitoring the site.
